Mac and cheese is one of the most classic comfort foods, but for those with a sensitivity or allergy to gluten, accessing that nostalgic taste is a bit more difficult. They've often had to give it up or use disappointing substitutions.
But now, the biggest (and bluest) mac brand, Kraft Mac & Cheese, is finally launching a gluten-free version of its product nationwide.
“Families love our Kraft Mac & Cheese, and we didn’t want to limit who could enjoy our iconic blue box,' said Emily Violett, senior associate brand manager at Kraft Heinz, in a media statement. 'With our new gluten free offering, fans with dietary restrictions or gluten intolerance can now have our deliciously cheesy Kraft Gluten Free Mac & Cheese, and that’s something to smile about!”
Nutrition-wise, the new Kraft Gluten Free Macaroni & Cheese Dinner has 260 calories, 1.5 grams of saturated fat and 560 milligrams of sodium, compared to Kraft’s Original Flavor Macaroni & Cheese Dinner, which contains 250 calories, 1.5 grams of saturated fat and 570 milligrams of sodium per serving.
The new gluten-free spin on the traditional mac includes brown rice and corn pasta and, of course, the original flavor cheese sauce mix — which is really where all the flavor's at.

Kraft Gluten-Free Mac & Cheese launches on Wednesday, Nov. 18, and will be permanently available at grocery stores nationwide. However, eagle-eyed shoppers may have already found it on shelves in select stores, such as Target and Rite-Aid.
“It started to roll out in a few select stores this fall but will now be officially available everywhere,” a representative told TODAY Food in an email.

Those on a gluten-free diet craving their favorite snack foods have recently gotten some exciting new options: Oreo recently announced on Monday it is releasing a gluten-free version of its classic cookie in 2021; some major pizza chains, such as Papa John's, have offered gluten-free crusts for a few years now; and Chick-fil-A has had gluten-free buns for a while now, too.
Two top food brands are finally making gluten-free versions of their most iconic products. You'll soon be able to sink your teeth into Gluten Free Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and Oreos, and that's great news for anyone who suffers from celiac disease and gluten intolerance or sensitivities.
Major retailers across the country have already rolled out the gluten-free mac and cheese, while the Gluten Free Oreos Cookies will debut in January 2021. And if your favorite part about Oreos is the creme filling, it really is your lucky day because a Double Stuf version is also on its way. (Related: 8 Grocery Items That May Soon Be in Short Supply.)
When it comes to nutrition, an original pack of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is nearly identical to the new gluten-free variety. The main difference is the amount of protein. Most of Kraft's iconic blue box products pack 9 grams of protein into a single serving, whereas the gluten-free take has 7 grams of protein. The reimagined version of this childhood classic has a pasta base made from a blend of corn and brown rice flour.
While nutrition information for the new Oreos has not yet been publicly released, a representative for Nabisco told Eat This, Not That! that all of the gluten-free cookies will have GFCO certification, which will be clearly marked on the packaging. As always, the beloved chocolate sandwich cookies will be made with real cocoa.
Word of Oreo going gluten-free is eliciting a lot of fanfare on social media. The tweet announcing the news already has more than 4,000 likes. One Massachusetts fan named Austin cheered on the new cookies as 'another reason why we all love Oreos!'
